Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 RE: @sterling - I agree with your main premise, but I think the argument for increasing recruitment/retention rates with the ability to have two players will be that members will have more to do/will be more involved with the league, and therefore are more likely to stick around. But yes, I will admit that I wondered if this was our "jump the shark" moment as well when it started to gain more traction within the community.

Molholt 2,185 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Pretty sure I specifically said that the problem is recruitment, but I'll keep waiting on that problem to be resolved, because I haven't seen anything changing that in the last 10-15 seasons. So while the VHL keeps failing at changing that, I'm going to keep looking for other changes that might extend the life of the league by utilizing the dedicated member base that we already have, because they obviously don't want to recruit or people don't want to join.

Smarch 3,153 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Our late night conversation nailed it one the head. Change for the sake of change, so those in charge can say, see we tried something.

sterling 1,997 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm not that against it, just not that for it overall either. Another thing that was similar was expansion of which i felt the same way about and still do to a large extent.

I don't hate the idea but I can't say I'd be upset of it wasn't put in place. Recruitment is the issue here but only a handful of people take pride in being here.

Admin Victor 10,940 Posted May 31, 2016 Admin Share Posted May 31, 2016 It's not like anyone's saying OK, we'll get two players, now we don't have to change anything ever again. It's a cool bonus for many dedicated members and I don't think it'd hurt anyone. Retention may benefit but I don't think that's a major selling point so saying it won't address it is like accusing a frying pan of not boiling water as effectively as a kettle. (I had to think of a metaphor for a while and it's still shit) Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/30931-edition-287/#findComment-345219 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't know how, but somehow this is racist, and I am offended. #KettleLivesMatter DollarAndADream 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/30931-edition-287/#findComment-345238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastOlympian07 2,388 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 we did have some pretty good dedicated members out there recruiting their asses off @Kendrick and @Green now though, not as much just because people were making a stink about the tpe they were getting. It's funny too because i'm sure those people never tried to recruit anyone. its quite hard, you have to spam the shit out of a site, you have to get them to sign up you have to get them to get to what 50 tpe and 100 tpe then like 200? to get any amount of good tpe to make it worth it (i think?) anywho, i'm for the 2 player rule. I'd love to disappoint 2 GM's at once. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/30931-edition-287/#findComment-345241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had to think of a metaphor for a while and it's still shit) For the record frying pans don't boil water as quickly, the retention of heat in a kettle allows the water to boil at quicker rate.

Some of the people complaining were simply complaining because we were on a rival team and also complaining because of the value we were getting for the #1 job in the league.

eaglesfan036 4,603 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Great edition as always gentlemen. The VHLM article talking about each team ranked by their record was great... I think @ADwyer87 wrote that? Those are a nice overview of what players to watch out for on each team. Also, I agree with many of @sterling's points. I am not thrilled with the new 2 player ideas.

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Great articles in this edition. Somebody named jalaolar won. That member doesn't exist, so I suggest a re-roll? Also, this is probably plenty of seasons late to mention, but you could probably change travhave to DollarAndADream in that lotto list now. Not that I'd ever win anyways, so nobody would ever have to wonder who travhave is.
